The property contains a ca. 1952 house that is situated within the 0.24-acre lot known as Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 009-311-013-000 (Project Area). The house is not currently listed on any local, state, or federal historic inventory. The project entails the proposed demolition of the ca. 1952 house and the construction of a new house (Project). As such, the City of St. Helena is requiring an HRE be completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of St. Helena General Plan Historic Resources Element (Chapter 6) to determine if demolition of the ca. 1952 house will impact historical resources. The HRE was completed by Principal Architectural Historian, Stacey De Shazo, who holds an M.A. in Historic Preservation and exceeds the Secretary of Interior’s professional qualification standards for Architectural History and History. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project entails the proposed demolition of the ca. 1952 house and the construction of a new single- family hybridCore house within the 10,660-square foot parcel. An HRE was required by the City of St. Helena to address potential significant impacts to historical resources under CEQA. The HRE will ensure compliance with the CEQA and the City of St. Helena General Plan Historic Resources Element (Chapter 6). PROJECT LOCATION The Project Area includes the parcel (APN 009-311-013-000) at 1225 Allyn Avenue, located approximately 190 feet northwest of Spring Street and 330 feet southwest of Tainter Street. The Project Area is located on USGS St. Helena 7.5-minute (1960; 1993) and Rutherford 7.5-minute (1951; 1973) quadrangle maps within the Mexican-era land grant of Carne de Humana within unsectioned land of Township 8 North, Range 6 West, extended (Figure 1). Evans & De Shazo, LLC Page 3 Figure 1. Project Location Map, showing the Project Area. Evans & De Shazo, LLC Page 4 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT CEQA and the Guidelines for Implementing CEQA (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15064.5) give direction and guidance for evaluation of properties and the preparation of Initial Studies, Categorical Exemptions, Negative Declarations and Environmental Impact Reports. Pursuant to California State law, the City of St. Helena is legally responsible and accountable for determining the environmental impact of any land use proposal it approves. Cultural resources are aspects of the environment that require identification and assessment for potential significance under CEQA (14 CCR 15064.5 and PRC 21084.1). There are five classes of cultural resources defined by the State Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). These are: Building: A structure created principally to shelter or assist in carrying out any form of human activity. A “building” may also be used to refer to a historically and functionally related unit, such as a courthouse and jail or a house and barn. Structure: A construction made for a functional purpose rather than creating human shelter. Examples include mines, bridges, and tunnels. Object: Construction primarily artist in nature or relatively small in scale and simply constructed. It may be movable by nature or design or made for a specific setting or environment. Objects should be in a setting appropriate to their significant historic use or character. Examples include fountains, monuments, maritime resources, sculptures and boundary markers. Site: The location of a significant event. A prehistoric or historic occupation or activity, or a building or structure, whether standing, ruined, or vanished, where the location itself possesses historic, cultural, or archaeological value regardless of the value of any existing building, structure, or object. A site need not be marked by physical remains if it is the location of a prehistoric or historic event and if no buildings, structures, or objects marked it at that time. Examples include trails, designed landscapes, battlefields, habitation sites, Native American ceremonial areas, petroglyphs, and pictographs. Historic District: Unified geographic entities which contain a concentration of historic buildings, structures, or sites united historically, culturally, or architecturally. According to California Code of Regulations Section 15064.5, cultural resources are historically significant if they are:

The Phase I Cultural Resource Survey consisted of a pedestrian survey of the .95- acre site and a cultural resource record search. No cultural resources were identified. No further work is required. If archaeological resources are encountered during the course of construction, a qualified archaeologist should be consulted for further evaluation. If human remains or potential human remains are observed during construction, work in the vicinity of the remains will cease, and they will be treated in accordance with the provisions of State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5.

  • Preserving Calistoga: a Management Framework
    PRESERVING CALISTOGA: A MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK FOR A LIVING LANDSCAPE IN THE NAPA VALLEY by LILLIAN SAVANNAH MILLER (Under the Direction of Cari Goetcheus) ABSTRACT The city of Calistoga located in the upper Napa Valley is a living cultural landscape defined by product and processes associated with agriculture and tourism. While the historic fabric remains largely intact, development pressures due to a paucity of adequate preservation mechanisms seriously threatens the historic integrity of Calistoga‘s cultural landscape. This thesis identifies appropriate and innovative techniques to encourage preservation of Calistoga‘s historic resources and the relationships that exist between them. A thorough investigation of the developmental history of the city and the national preservation movement provides a basis from which to analyze the landscape characteristics and understand Calistoga‘s regulatory framework in a larger context. The relationships existing between the various sources of information illuminate the strengths and shortcomings of the current status quo and act as the basis for management recommendations.

    4. Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures 4.E Noise Introduction This section summarizes information on the noise environment in the St. Helena planning area and provides an evaluation of the noise-related effects of the proposed General Plan Update. The analysis considers existing and projected noise along major roadways, in addition to other noise sources in the area. Mitigation measures are recommended that address General Plan Update policies and implementing actions. The noise element of a city’s general plan is a comprehensive approach for including noise control in the planning process. It is a tool for achieving and maintaining environmental noise levels that are compatible with specific land use types. The Public Health, Safety and Noise Element of the proposed General Plan Update identifies noise-sensitive land uses and noise sources, defines areas of noise impact, and establishes goals, policies, and implementing actions to protect people from excessive noise and vibration. Setting Background Information on Noise Noise may be defined as unwanted sound. Noise is usually objectionable Noise is defined as unwanted because it is disturbing or annoying. The objectionable nature of sound could sound. be caused by its pitch or its loudness. Pitch is the height or depth of a tone or sound, depending on the relative rapidity (frequency) of the vibrations by which it is produced. Higher pitched signals sound louder to humans than sounds with a lower pitch. Loudness is intensity of sound waves combined with the reception characteristics of the ear. Intensity may be compared with the height of an ocean wave in that it is a measure of the amplitude of the sound wave.
